So, “Batman v Superman” director Zack Snyder is having a ball of a time, as seen on his Twitter timeline. He doesn’t tweet very often but in the very rare times that he does, he spews gold.
Here’s the thing, rumour has it that security is so tight on the set of the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” that Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) all have to wear big black robes when they’re on set and not filming a scene. Well, you can’t let the paps get away with shots that easily now, can you?
But! Despite being kept under wraps, the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” team decided to take a picture of Henry Cavill in one of those robes and then Photoshop it to turn it into..this:

Ah, the trolling is strong in this one.
That having said, on another note, Zack Snyder did upload a more legit movie-related picture today on his Twitter account. Just as well, since fans are expecting a full reveal of Batman at Warner Bros’ Saturday panel at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con (SDCC). As such, he uploaded a picture of Ben Affleck wearing the Batman cowl aka Ben Affleck as Batman in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” aka Batfleck:

The above picture has since been retweeted 6,039 times and favourite-d 4,539 times – because, you know, anxious fans are anxious. And it’s probably because “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” is slated for a 6th May 2016 release.
Fret not! While you wait, check out the list DC Comics x Warner Bros films (among other exciting things) that you can expect to be unveiled/confirmed at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con.
